Diamond’s manager says he’s still friends with Zari despite Diamond’s break up 

Diamond Platnumz manager Sallam SK still speaks to Zari Hassan despite her ugly break up with Diamond. Speaking at an interview SK said that he’s still in good terms with Zari even after the break up because that’s how he is as a person.

Initially, fans claimed that SK is the man pressuring the singer to dump the mother of five.

Don’t change

He however, stressed out that he would not change how he lives because Diamond had issues with his family as everyone has his own life.

“Labda yeye kwa maono yake lakini la kwaza hatuna tatizo mimi na Zari. Siajwai kuwa na tatizo na Zari kabisa ni mmoja wa washikaji wangu kabisa na hata kama deal zake kazipata ana mikataba anaeza kanitumia mimi anaomba nimwangalilie hii na hii. Lakini obviously kuna lifestyle mimi ninayoishi labda inaeza kuwa inatoshea vitu vingine but that’s my lifestyle. Siwezi kubadilika kwasababu Diamond ana matatizo yake na familia yake,” he noted.

Adding:

“Kila mtu anaangalia familia yake but at the end of the day tunaeza mwambia kwamba aangalie kitu fulani katika familia  lakini siwezi sema nibadilishe maisha yangu mimi kwasababu fulani. Apana kila mtu na maisha yake at the end of the day mtu akifeli anafeli kivyake. Sisi tunaishi kama team na mtu akifeli tunakosoana. Lakini kutoka na mtafaruko ulikuwa nao hapa kati labda ndio maana kuandika hivo, na yeye hakutuattack sisi aliattack mpezi wake kwa hivyo zile vitu sisi hujiepusha nazo, tunachangia tu mawazo lakini tunastay far away.”

Former Citizen TV news anchor fired for allegedly taking bribes finally speaks after joining NTV 

Former Citizen TV Swahili news anchor Salim Swaleh has been topping headlines for weeks now after he was allegedly fired from the station for being corrupt.

Not fired

Two weeks later, Salim joined NTV, a station that has being losing employees at an alarming rate but the negative talk has followed him there. He has been forced to speak, claiming that he was not fired but he just resigned.

“Yes, it is true I left Citizen TV a week ago. I resigned for personal reasons not because of what I am reading online. My salary and the little I get from my businesses is enough money for me. I am professional journalist who has worked with international media entities,” Swaleh said in an interview with a local station.

The journalist is expected to take the role of senior news anchor, news producer and African affairs expert and researcher.
